Using a shortened Passat platform, the Volkswagen Eos was positioned as a more affordable hardtop convertible compared to the more luxurious competitors available. It offered seating for four adults and featured a sophisticated retractable hardtop designed by OASys, which could be opened or closed in approximately 25 seconds. The Eos sported a sportier appearance than other Volkswagen models in the lineup, setting it apart visually.
Despite being offered in three trim levels, the base model came well-equipped, with no optional extras to select. Standard features included 16-inch alloy wheels, leatherette upholstery, air conditioning, power windows, and heated exterior mirrors. The higher 2.0T trims added amenities such as heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a trip computer, and power-adjustable driver seats. The feature list expanded further on these upper trims.
At the top of the range, the Eos was powered by a robust 3.2-liter V6 engine delivering 250 horsepower. This trim also included 17-inch alloy wheels, genuine leather upholstery, wood interior accents, rain-sensing wipers, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Additional options such as the Sport Package and Technology Package were available on higher trims, offering upgrades like larger wheels, sport-tuned suspension, enhanced audio systems, parking sensors, and adaptive bi-xenon headlights.
